Introduction Population increase and the improvement of living standards brought about by development will result in a sharp increase in food demand during the next decades. At the same time, water inputs will have to be reduced in response to water scarcity and environmental concerns. Water productivity is projected to increase through gains in… read more »

Introduction Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important mineral nutrients for plant growth, yield and crop quality. Precise timing and rate of N fertilizer application play a major role in plant nutrition. Prediction of N requirements is necessary for efficient utilization of nitrogen fertilizers. Improving the efficiency of N fertilizer utilization reduces the… read more »

Introduction Crops monitoring on large-scale farm is a complex and time-consuming exercise, particularly in warm arid conditions where crops can change drastically in 24 hours. Reducing scouting time is of great importance while providing maps for large areas within hours would be the ultimate goal. With multi-spectral sensors, biomass is monitored accurately helping the… read more »

Introduction Accurate soil water content measurements are critical for estimation of energy and water balances, as well as for understanding chemical and biological processes in vadose zone, plant root zones and in groundwater.[1] Soil electrical conductivity is an indirect measurement that correlates very well with several soil physical and chemical properties. Electrical conductivity is the… read more »
